Healthy Vegan Nachos + Pre-order gift: GATHER e-book!

Oh boy, do I have a bunch of good news for you today! There’s a whole lot of ice cream goodness + other fabulous news + healthy vegan nachos, so sit back, take a minute, and check it all out!

First of all, our book N’Ice Cream is now available for pre-order! Woohoo! That means that there’s only weeks until it comes out in the States on May 17th by Avery Publishing / Penguin. I am so excited, because this is the book of my wildest ice cream dreams, and I think it will be a dream come true for you too.

There are more than 80 (!) recipes for healthy homemade vegan ice creams in the book. That’s right, all the recipes are plant-based and free from dairy, gluten and refined sugar. No weird stuff, just good-quality, natural ingredients that make you feel good inside and out. There are recipes for Creamy Ice Creams, Ice Pops & Sorbets, Instant Ice Creams, Milkshakes, and Ice Cream Cakes and Cookies. And the best thing: each and every one of the recipes can be made without an ice cream maker.

So to make sure you’ll have the chance to treat yourself with these goodies as soon as the book hits the stores, pre-order one now!

And you know what’s cool about pre-ordering the book _right now_? The fact that you’ll get a fabulous gift as a thank you for doing that.

Before sharing a recipe from the e-book (Healthy Nachos!!), I just want to thank you for all the sweet words, likes, comments and support you have gave us with this book! It feel so great to hear that you’re as excited about this as we are and we’re ready to start a whole n’ice cream revolution! :) And if you feel like sharing this post with your friends, telling them about the e-book, the ice cream book, or anything else, we’d be so grateful!

But now, let’s move on to the nachos.

This is one of my favorite recipes form the e-book. Maybe because there are three things to be excited here: Homemade Tortilla Chips. Vegan Cashew Sour Cream. Healthy Vegan Nachos.

Making your own chips might sound hard, but really, it’s not. At least with tortilla chips. I made these from store-bought gluten-free corn tortillas and baked them in the oven until crispy. So good and crunchy. If you’d like to be a true artisan, you can of course make the tortillas from scratch and then turn them into chips. Or if you’d like to simple things down, you could just pick up organic tortilla chips from the store and focus on the creamy Vegan Cashew Sour Cream, that makes this whole thing so good.

In the e-book I made my nachos like this but had cherry tomatoes and chili in there too. So you can always change the toppings / fillings the way you like and what’s good at the moment. Enjoy the nachos! xo

Prepare the tortilla chips and The Vegan Cashew Sour Cream first. Drain and rinse the black beans and corn. Cover a plate with tortilla chips, top with all the fillings, and finish with a generous spoonful of Cashew Sour Cream. Serve, and enjoy!

Homemade Tortilla Chips

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Cut each tortilla into 4 pieces and spread the pieces evenly on the baking sheets. Using a pastry brush, brush the chips lightly with the olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Let cool.

Vegan Cashew Sour Cream

Soak the cashews in water for 4 hours. Rinse and drain. Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend on high until smooth. Add more water, if needed. Taste and add more seasonings, if desired. Serve immediately or store in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to 4 days.
